If you recollect, on September 6, Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis rapped the Mumbai Police over the attention devoted to the Sheena Bora murder case. "Police have shown a lot of involvement and attention in a case which is in the media spotlight. It should pay similar attention to other cases which do not get media focus," said Fadnavis, who controls the home portfolio. However, he added police had done a commendable job in investigating the case.
